 Friendly, affordable, and convenient – three hallmarks that make Athens State University a great place to continue your education.

At Athens State, we understand that career opportunities rest on your college education. Over 3,000 students each semester select Athens State because of this neighborly environment where over 50 different degree programs are taught by understanding and quality faculty.

Whether you work full or part-time or whether you are a full-time student, Athens State offers a course schedule to meet your needs whether it be day, night, weekend or distance courses. Because nearly every student is from North Alabama or Southern Tennessee, you will literally attend class with people you know. Don’t find yourself being just another student number. Consider Athens State University!

Athens State is dedicated to its traditions of building a brighter, more successful future for our students, our state, and our world. Our faculty members are committed to teaching students in ways that will best prepare them for rewarding careers.

We seek to admit and enroll students who have demonstrated their commitment to learning.  For admission decisions, we consider grades and test scores, of course, but we also consider the  experiences and talents that a student will share with our community.

You can choose from more than 50 degree options. Athens State is affordable and accessible by offering a wide range of merit and need-based scholarships and financial aid.

 Our office receives and manages gifts and grants from individuals, corporations, and foundations that benefit a great variety of people and programs at Athens State. Scholarships help us attract some of our region’s highest achieving students and also make college affordable for many others. Support for faculty gives us leverage to recruit and retain top professors. Unrestricted gifts give our campus leaders the ability to respond to their most pressing needs and opportunities. And gifts to the endowment help secure Athens State’s future. We encourage you to contact our office to talk more about how your gift can achieve the impact that you desire.

 Athens State’s Student Services provides essential programs and services which support the transfer, academic achievement, personal development, and quality of life of all students. Efficient enrollment and admissions services assist students in making effective transitions to the University. Educational partnerships and academic support programs promote student learning and help students integrate academic development with personal growth. Campus traditions and an active campus life encourage the development of student leadership, personal responsibility and accountability, and an inclusive and supportive learning community.

 Athens State places an emphasis on leading-edge technology that keeps the campus connected and provides computer- and Web-based classroom and distance education opportunities for students, faculty and staff.

 The Athens State University Alumni Association has increased their efforts to give back to their alma mater and its students. Cumulative figures for donations to the University are greater than $85,000 and scholarships are just under $180,000 since 2010.

Over the last 5 years they have allocated $5,000 per year to the restoration efforts of the Beaty-Mason home, increased scholarships to over $50,000 annually, provided $2,000 in financial assistance for the student publication Athena’s Web, donated over $9,000 to the sound system and seating in McCandless Hall, purchased over $9,000 in furnishings for the Sandridge Student Center lower lobby and President’s Dining Room, and provided sponsorships to University affiliated clubs and organizations.
